Minor Remodel and Other Household Stories

All 7 of us have been living in 3 bedrooms for the last 7.5 months. That is fine, except we have 5 bedrooms so squishing in a few and not utilizing the others seems, well, silly. Here is what it took to get Beck out of my bedroom and into the nursery.

Empty out "The-Room-We-Do-Not-Go-Into"
Tear out toilet and vanity from the bathroom
Buy new toilet, install
Buy new vanity and sink, set in the bathroom, hook up faucet
Empty the stuff from one of the bedrooms
Take a lot of it to D.I. and throw a lot of it away
Store what we want to keep in "The-Room-We-Do-Not-Go-Into"
Paint the bedroom pink, paint trim white
Rename "The-Room-We-Do-Not-Go-Into"
Suggestions for new names include: The-Room-We-Go-Into, Happy Hallway, Home Room and Random Room
